10 Dragons to Appreciate on Appreciate a Dragon Day

Did you know January 16th is Appreciate a Dragon Day? Yeah, I don't know who comes up with these holidays either, but since it exists, why not appreciate your favorite scaly friends? Here are our ten favorite dragons we're paying homage to:

Toothless (How to Train Your Dragon)

By Unknown

Who wouldn't love a face like that?

Charizard (Pokémon)

By Unknown

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not a real dragon, but JUST LOOK AT HIM. He's totally a dragon. If you're more traditional, there's always Dragonite

Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion (Game of Thrones)

By Unknown

If I could be anything in the world, I'd be mother of dragons. After all,

Smaug (The Hobbit)

By Unknown

Do you think he'll let me look at his hoard?

Real Life Dragons (sorta)

By Unknown

Okay, so Draco volcans is just a "lizard" that can't fly so much as it can glide, but look how adorable it is!

Falcor (Neverending Story)

By Unknown

All the luck you could ever need!

Haku (Spirited Away)

By Unknown

He's a shape-shifting river god, what more do you want from me?

Norberta, or any of the dragons from Harry Potter and the One With the Dragons

By Unknown

So it's actually Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but honestly, what about that one was cooler than dragons?

Saphira (Eragon)

By Unknown

Eragon was by no means a good movie, but The Inheritance Cycle was a great book series and Saphira was totally the best part about the terrible movie adaptation.
